Bill: International Aid Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: New Liberal Party of Endralon
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 2552
Description[?]:
Aid is not only a waste of money, it can be detrimental when it undercuts the prices of domestic growers overseas. If we do give aid, we should only do so with a committment by the revieving nation that it will stamp out corruption, improve its human rights record, democratise, increase free trade, liberalise its economy and allow an Endralonian embassy, etc. Aid should not become a means for dictators to prop up their corrupt regimes. |
